Hydroplaning can seemingly happen out of nowhere, and the best advice to avoid that situation is to avoid driving on uneven or windy roads during heavy rain. If you have to be on the road, do your best to keep distance between you and drivers in front of you. Stay calm to keep yourself from hitting the brake pedal too hard.

You definitely should not be driving in heavy rain if your tires have not been maintained. 

If your tire pressure light suddenly comes on, you might be tempted to panic. Don't! Your car's tire contains sensors that are linked to your car's computer. These sensors let you know as soon as the air pressure in your tire changes. Sometimes, this could simply be a normal part of driving. Topping off your tire's air can help. Other times, you may have more of a problem that requires assistance from a trusted auto service shop.

If you run over a nail or get a tear in your car's tire, your pressure light will…

Your vehicle's engine produces a lot of heat. Thousands of degrees, as a matter of fact. With all of this heat trapped under the hood, a properly functioning cooling system is imperative.

The cooling system works much like the human body's circulatory system. Coolant, also known as anti-freeze, travels through a system of hoses that is powered by the water pump. The coolant cycles through the radiator which uses cooling fins to allow the coolant to release the heat it has absorbed from the engine. After that, it goes in for another round.

Move over laws are common, but often ignored. Some drivers simply don’t want to be bothered to change lanes as they pass a disabled vehicle on the side of the road. They’re curious about why the police officer pulled someone over and they want to get a closer look. Often, they want to see the extent of damage in a multiple vehicle accident.

Your vehicle has a lot of different fluids in it including engine oil, transmission fluid, and air coolant fluid. These fluids might be there to keep parts lubricated or they might have another more specific duty. Out of all the fluids in your car, you may think that windshield wiper fluid is not as important as the others. But this does not mean that you can replace it with water.

First of all, water freezes at a much higher temperature than windshield wiper fluid, meaning that water won't even work during the winter months. Windshield wiper fluid actually has…
